I have a set of 36mm Mikunis on my 1105 and know they are sticking on high idle and then releasing. I have adjusted the cables,cleaned and sprayed the shafts with wd-40. Nothing has changed. It's acting like there is no shut off cable attached,but it is. And there is no bottom end when you crack the throttle,it dies. Almost like a vaccuum leak somewhere. I checked for that to.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks
Mike

If so, time for new ones...
A trick I've been using with good results... Put some vacuum grease around the carb mounts for insertion into the boots... Seals them up nicely thus no leaks!

Possibly not carb-related.
Would also assure ignition advancer is properly functioning, and not hanging in advanced position for whatever reason.
Can use a timing light while engine's running to watch the advancer in action as it moves back and forth when the throttle is blipped. The change in advancer position should be instantaneous with changing rpm.
If sticking, sometimes a little squirt of oil will loosen it up. But it's usually best to remove it for cleaning, inspection, and re-lube with moly-grease.
Good Luck!

Seriously, unless drag racing, 29-31mm is more than sufficient for that size motor on a street ride....
Question, in your signature, you had 34mm carbs listed, you still have them to install and test with?

Just out of curiosity, why such BIG carbs on a 1105 motor?

They are 34's I must have FAT fingered the buttons and got in a hurry. Thanks for the catch OMR.
There is more to this besides the manifolds. I looked into it yesterday and found that they are sticking without running. Looks like a carb rebuild and new manifolds!!!!
I know the 34's are probably to big for the street also,but they were on there when I bought it and haven't changed them. It has been running good until a few days ago.
Thanks for all your input and advice,it has been greatly appreciated.
